 Intro: ||: E - D9 :||
 
 E                 D9                E          D9 
 Some folks always seem to find the good things,
 
 E               Bm7-5             E7  
 Other folks get mixed up with the bad;
 
       A             Edim           E           C#m7 
 Don't ask me what I know about the good things --
 
      AM7     F#m   B7   E7  
 The blues is all I ever had.
 
     E                   D9                E    D9 
 To some, the earth's a world of friendly faces,
 
 E              Bm7-5             E7 
 For those lucky few, I'm awful glad;
 
 A                   Edim            E       C#m7 
 My world's been a string of second places --
 
      AM7     F#m   B7   E7  
 The blues is all I ever had.
 
 Am7              Cdim                 G   Em7 
 When I first met him, I thought that maybe
 
 Am7                  Cdim           G  
 He could change this lonely life I led;
 
 C                   Cm     Cm7-5       C    Am 
 When he smiled and said, "I love you, baby,"
 
 Silly girl, I b'lieved each word he said.
 
   E                 D9              E         D9 
 Guess it's time for me to say "good bye" now --
 
 E              Bm7-5             E7  
 Didn't mean to leave you feelin' sad.
 
 A                    Edim               E      C#m7 
 Since he's gone, what is there left to try now?
 
     AM7      F#m   B7   C   E7 
 The blues is all I ev - er had.
